im sure most of you have seen my old turbo thread but if you havent here is the link: http://www.ek9.org/forum/forced-ind...my-turbo-b16b-build-log-opinions-welcome.html
my old turbo was causing the car to smoke so i bought a new one which required some new parts and i ended up with a completely new kit! im very excited, this is a huge upgrade! before i was at 15psi making 317whp 240tq, now im at 10-12psi and im making 333whp 260wtq!! the power comes on earlier and the car is A LOT smoother as the new turbo is a true dual ball bearing (garrett GT3076R). here is a quick list of the new parts:
-gt3076r turbo
-Tial 44mm wastegate
-new 3" downpipe
-new equal length manifold
-apexi GT spec intercooler
the only part that i kept from the old setup was the greddy RS bov and some of the intercooler piping. enjoy the pics
here is a pic of the old setup for those who forgot:
i also added a second catchcan for the head, update: got a 68mm TB and skunk2 PRO intake manifold, i have no idea what the new numbers are but tis a pretty big difference. i decided to give my old turbo kit to one of my friends
